i'm really vibing for a roleplay based in the feudal era/warring states era of Japan -- like with daimyos and shogun, samurai, etc, inspired by media like Inuyasha and The Ghost of Tsushima. The setting is just so beautiful and open, and I just love the Sengoku Jidai as a world (which is partially why I love Arceus: Legends so much). The hard part would be deciding whether to have fantasy elements, and what the overall plot would be. It would also take some research and historical digging to get it at least semi-accurate, even if we decide on straight fiction, or just to base it/draw inspiration from both mediums. I think an original setting and site (maybe based on an island) would really be fun, too, though. Like hardly any magic, but maybe a some youkai presence? Idk, any thoughts? I do think there is a lot of potential there! To add some ideas, I wonder if some kind of political drama would work. Maybe on an island like you said, whether original or real (like Sado island, not too too far from Kyoto and stuff and has tons of ancient ruins which is cool) with some supernatural stuff going on. Maybe some kind of central clan with family branches and minor retainer clans vying for political power, like Game of Thrones, etc. Could have invasions from the mainland be site events, a la Sekiro or smthn. Political shenanigans, youkai, and rivalries within and without the clan sounds like a fun time imo - tons of stuff you could do with the setting Edit: Apparently the Shogunate took direct control of the island in the middle of the Sengoku period once gold was discovered there. Could be a good excuse for some shogun + emperor meddling plots Also, it was used as place of exile - meaning there could be lots of disgraced peeps from all over Japan there
